These products provide custom receiver software, display patches, and integrations to run Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on aftermarket head units, virtual cockpits, and non-automotive screens. They are used by automotive hobbyists, DIY modders, and drivers looking to upgrade legacy or restricted vehicle infotainment systems. This cluster is distinguished by its focus on reverse-engineered infotainment projection tools and auxiliary display modifications rather than standard connected-car consumer apps.
